Powerglide looks like a nice redeco, but Bee looks like another "Hey, look kids! Bumblebee looks super cool now! He's all stealthy and stuff! Buy it!" scheme. Optimus Prime has little to no changes, as does Sideswipe (but it is a bit more obvious that he has some more paint on him). Crowbar is, well, decent.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

One decepticon? Wow, Crowbar is f**ked. I might just get this, only because I don't have any of these and I want that Optimus.

[funeralthirst7]

How many of those preview Optimus figures did Hasbro make? Stores have been giving it away now for months and now it's been repackaged in a set.

If we get that same lousy Bumblebee mold one more time i'm gonna scream.

[juxtapose519]

I don't know how Hasbro interprets "Bumblebee is a popular character" as "Bumblebee should be included in some form in every bundle we sell".

I have 3 legends class Bayformer Bumblebees, and I don't even collect Bayformers.

[Poyguimogul]

sunrunner ftw

Maybe the next gift set will have 4 Decepticons and 1 Autobots.

[dirk2243]

I'd love to see an Ultimate set be more like the 3 dreads (crowbar, Hatchet, and Crankcase) vs the 3 wreckers. I'd buy that one Hasbro

How does 1 Decepticon vs 4 autobots equal an ultimate Gift set? Should be more like the ultimate about to get your a%& kicked set.

An idea that probably would have sold better would have been the ultimate autobot set, getting rid of Crank case for Ironhide.

[BeastProwl]

Why not rename half these guys?
Crowbar-Vehicon
Powerglide-Skyshadow
Sideswipe-Drift
Bumblebee and OP Stay Bumblebee and OP.
It would sell better, just sayin!

[triKlops]

looks cool but pass
got CBar, OP and PGlide
dont need another SSwipe
dont want another BB

[AutobotTrainer]

Oh, they got me. This is the perfect gift for my 3 year old! All in one package, figures I don't care about getting destroyed, but ones he will love. It's a buy. Not for collecting, but for finding under the couch next May with 5 missing pieces.

There's a good few of us who've been advocating those names since the repaints were revealed. Apparently no-one at Hasbro heard us

Joking aside though, I'm reckon it could be in Hasbro's benefit to have one of their employees spend a few hours scouring the major forums every now and again...

There's always repurposing "Sky Shadow? He looks like a green Powerglide! FAIL"

Again, joking aside, I'm tempted, largely by the fact I actually don't have but one of these molds, and that one's been repainted in the set.

[Dai_Ceefax]

There IS always repurposing, but it'd be nicer to be able to go:

"Sky Shadow? Ah! Because he's got the colours of the Beast Wars Fuzor and the alt-mode of the Mini-con and Energon Superion component... Nice triple-homage Hasbro. Nice."

[Sidearm]

You could call them that.

[Megatron Wolf]

just what we need more bumblebee and prime repaints, hasbro you've beaten this horse to a bloody pulp its time to get a new one. I do like crowbar & sidswipe but not enough to buy the set.

[Kaynowa]

just what we need more bumblebee and prime repaints, hasbro you've beaten this horse to a bloody pulp its time to get a new one. I do like crowbar & sideswipe but not enough to buy the set.

I agree, and it might just be me but that sideswipe looks a Sidearm Sideswipe repaint. But Optimus and Bumblebee are wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy to overused. just the movie trilogy we've gotten 9 Optimus molds not with repaints and god knows how many more Bumblebees. Hasbro should find better people to make.

[FellintoOblivion]

Considering Hasbro stock is over 12% higher now then when the first movie came out in 2007 I would advise them to ignore all the business advice being offered here.

[Noideaforaname]

Powerglide = Sky Shadow
Crowbar = Eradicon
Sideswipe = Mach 5

Anyways, didn't we already see these pics before? I kinda remember seeing Optimus fallen over like that.

[Michael Alex Kawa]

I like the set ,but at least give us a new Cliffjumper .If they are going to recolor Bumblebee so much ,make him red like they did with the first Movie .I love the Camaro in RED .

[Primal9279]

Seriously why not at least make Bumblebee into a cliffjumper. I mean how hard would that be? Or Bugbite? I like Bumblebee and all as a character, but I didn't think he was so popular before all the movie baloney. Where is the love for all the other bajillion transformers?

[orionpax76]
